Google may release two giant Android phones this year — here's everything we know about them

Google usually launches one new smartphone under its Nexus brand
per year, but this time the search giant might be planning to
release two devices, according to
a report from Android Police.

Google will reportedly release one phone with a 5.2-inch screen
and a separate with a 5.7-inch display. To put those sizes in
perspective, a 5.2-inch phone would be slightly larger than the
Samsung Galaxy S6, which has a 5.1- inch screen.

A phone with a 5.7-inch display would be a bit larger than the
iPhone 6 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen, but the same size as
the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.The smaller phone will be
manufactured by LG and the larger one will be made by Huawei, the
report says.

Based on Android Police's report and a note from a Chinese
analyst, here's what we know about the two phones so far:

Both phones have internal nicknames at Google that are
consistent with the sea creature theme the company previously
established. The LG phone is nicknamed Angler, while
the Huawei phone is being called Bullhead. The Nexus 6 was
nicknamed Shamu before it was released.

The LG Angler will reportedly come with a 2,700 mAh
battery, which is a bit smaller than the Galaxy S6's battery
(3,200 mAh). It will run on the same processor as LG's
new G4 smartphone (Qualcomm Snapdragon 808).

The Huawei Bullhead will be more "hefty" than the LG
Angler, according to Android Police. It will be
powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chip, which is the same
processor in the HTC One M9. The Huawei-built phone will come
with a larger battery than the LG Angler, too (3,500 mAh versus
2,700 mAh) which makes sense given its bigger size.

It's also worth noting that Android Police has a strong track
record when it comes to reporting on upcoming Google products.
For example, the website nailed almost every single detail about
Google's Project Fi wireless service right before it was
officially announced.

We won't know exactly what to expect from Google's future Nexus
phones until the company officially announces them. Later this
week, however, we're expecting to learn about what Google has in
store for its next major Android release during its annual I/O
conference.
